4R44E / 4R55E
These transmission are rear wheel drive 4 speed automatics, that are all computer controlled. Common symptoms are overdrive light flashing, transmission shifting erratic, slipping or not shifting at all. External sensors on the vehicle like the throttle position sensor or vehicle speed sensor quite often go bad, causing these symptoms. If you screw the force motor in 1/2 turn the transmission has better shifts and engagements.
I recommend that you always replace the boost valve when rebuilding any Ford transmission.
Always run a scanner first to see if a sensor is causing your problem.
thats the post i read what i was wondering it what its refering to when it mentions screwin in the force motorhalf turn helping common problems could anyone explain to me what this is talking about
